Cask-conditioned at the Robert Fitzharding (JDW), Bristol, March 2022. Amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Aroma of floral hops, tangerines and ripe malts. Flavour had more citrus fruits, red berries ripe, biscuity, grains, leading to a moderately bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at Standing Order, Derby – as Mad Squirrel Redwood IPA. Pours a golden copper with a small scummy off-white head and good lacing. Autumn fruits to the fore in the aroma. They are there again in the mouth, though the focus is more on marmalade, plus pine and biscuits. Finish is quite fruity. This is OK, but in no way is it a pale ale ! Also, THIS COMPLETES MY ENGLISH COUNTY RATINGS

[Cask at the Old Manor(JDW), Bracknell as Mad Squirrel Redwood.] An amber pour with a tight cream coloured head; biscuity aroma with a trace of orange; thick grainy body with biscuity malts, and some citrus; then a pithy citrus finish with lingering pine resins. Very drinkable.

Cask. Malty. Bit of citrus, real ale yeastiness, slightly nutty. Alright. First sip was interesting but then it hurt my teeth. No idea why.

330ml bottle. Intense floral hopped on a nice but slightly roasted body. Fresh pine and resin, lots of hop oils, moderate bitter and roasted malty aftertaste. Nice combination!

Keg at the Berkhamsted beer shop in Berkhamsted, Herts. An orange/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, malty, caramel aroma. Tastes hoppy, malty, caramel, slight sweetness with a bitter finish. Highly drinkable APA and certainly the best beer that I have had from Red Squirrel.
